This is not the first time they have run into this - due the to AppStore being a walled garden they are the sole gate keeper who decides what goes in and what not. Makes sure the users are safe and everything. Perfect, right ? Well, until protesters want to use an app in the store to coordinate their protests yet the government wants you to reject it, so the protesters can't use it: https://www.applefritter.com/content/teargas-walled-garden-i... With users not being able to install the app themselves Apple is the single point of failure with no plausible deniability like Android (any any sane OS in general) has. And they did reject the app. And just a few months before this happened I attended a talk about free software from FSF and they mentioned just the same thing about iOS and the gate keeper being the single point of failure a repressive regime can apply pressure on. Turned on to not be far fetched at all... |
